Article Summary

  • KPop Demon Hunters returns to theaters for special sing-along screenings from October 31 to November 2.
  • The event expands to 400 U.S. cinemas, including Regal, Cinemark, and AMC, and goes international.
  • Netflix ramps up promotion after the film's successful initial run and strong sing-along turnout this August.
  • Tickets are now on sale, giving fans another chance to catch the movie on the big screen this Halloween.

We can rag on Sony Pictures Animation for making one hell of a bad judgment call when it came to KPop Demon Hunters, but someone who hasn't been stupid about it is Netflix. They realized pretty quickly what they had on their hands, and they have been leaning in ever since, from the extensive press to getting the three vocalists to perform "Golden" on late-night TV the day they go platinum. It's the kind of wild ride other studios would sacrifice someone for, and nothing about this film appears to be slowing down. So, they are doing something smart again and bringing KPop Demon Hunters back to movie theaters for the third time.

The film screened in theaters in a limited capacity before its Netflix release, but it was still flying under the radar at the time. In August, they announced sing-along screenings, and those went extremely well, so it's time for round two (three?).  According to Deadline, the KPop Demon Hunters sing-along screenings are returning to 400 theaters across Regal, Cinemark, and AMC Theatres, which sat out the last one. It's also going international with releases in the UK, Ireland, Korea, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. This set of screenings will run from October 31 to November 2. Tickets are on sale now. When the pandemic ended, we all said the traditional theatrical window was going to change, but this is a way no one saw coming.
